FIGS. 5C and 5D is example diagrams depicting determining characteristic of the electronic device 102 and the event invoked to the electronic device, according to various embodiments of the disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 5C and 5D, the characteristic determination module receives event, user activity and environmental context of the user. The input received by the characteristic determination module is sent to the dynamic characteristic model. The dynamic characteristic model, on receiving the events, activity and the environmental context of the user, generates the re-calibrated characteristic value for the electronic device 102 received from the learning module 212. The learning module 212 maintains the list of state-value pair for which the state comprises the event, activity and the environment of the user with the pre-defined characteristic value. The pre-defined characteristic value is based on the learning of the user based on the variation of the health parameters/change in the physiological state of the users on receiving the event notification.

FIGS. 5C and 5D, the event is triggered to the electronic device 102 to be notified to the user at the re-calibrated characteristic value. The re-calibrated/adjusted characteristic value may be the new value required to notify the user with the received event. The re-calibrated/adjusted characteristic of the electronic device is provided by the learning module 212. The parameters to notify the user about the received event may include but not limited to the display, sound level, vibration settings, layout settings and the like.

FIG. 5E is an example diagram depicting change in the physiological state of a user on receiving the event by an electronic device, according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 5E, a health reaction analyzer monitors an effect of characteristic on a user's physiological state or health parameters. The user's physiological state or health parameters may monitor the change in the magnitude of the physiological reactions to the occurred events. The variations to the physiological reactions to same event differs for the users depending on the personal traits. Personal traits, may include but not limited to, experience, adaptation, psychological mind set, health state and the like.

Referring to FIG. 5E, as an example, on the occurrence of sudden event, the user may produce mild to heavy psychological change which differs among different users. The change in the physiological state of the user may depend on the following factors such as age, gender, region/country, profession, and the like. For instance, the physiological state of the user may depend on age such as a child of age 7-13 will be more reactive than an aged person on receiving the notification with high vibration and high sound. For the factor (region and country), the Germans are highly reactive to normal sound than people of any other country. For the factor (profession), software/information technology professionals will be highly reactive to normal sounds than factory workers.

Referring to FIG. 5E, the user's physiological state/health parameters are the condition or the state of the body or the bodily functions that make a spontaneous reaction to the received event. The sudden change may lead to change in the heart rate, blood pressure, stress level and the breath rate of the user on receiving the notification. Therefore, the characteristic value of the electronic device 102 corresponding to the event at specific context produces a mild to severe change to the health. This is because of the natural human tendency to fight or flee in the reaction to any sudden on-arrival of the vibration, display and the sound. Hence, a sudden vibration, display, sound may lead to heart rate, blood pressure, stress, breath rate change and the like. The user interaction during specific screens can also result in an increase in the stress level. For example, the user may find it difficult, when typing the extreme sides of the keyword on QWERTY keyboard with small and fat fingers, which can annoy the user and induce stress.

FIG. 6 is an example diagram depicting communication between the learning module and a pre-trained universal method involving various parameters such as characteristics of an electronic device, change in physiological state of a user, according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 6 , contexts based characteristic module of a learning module holds a state-value pair dataset of a learning module 212. The state holds the list of permutation of events, user activity and the environmental contexts of the user. The value holds the list of characteristics for each permutation of states. For example, the state-value pair which may hold as mentioned below: State=[Event={“SMS Notification”},User Activity={“Sleeping”},Environment={“11 PM”,“Home”,“Silent”,“Dark”}]. Value=[Vibration=“50”,Display=“Grey Scaling”,Sound=“0”].

As mentioned above, the contexts based characteristic model holds various state value pairs based on previous learnings of the user from the variation of the health parameter of the user on receiving the events to the electronic device 102.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the reinforcement learning module includes a physiological reactor, which receives the magnitude of the user's change in the physiological state, corresponding to the state received. The physiological reactor receives a notification of a change in the health parameter from the health change feedback. The reinforcement learning module includes a user persona, which holds personal information of the user which may include age, gender, region, profession of the user and the like. The reinforcement learning module includes a characteristic modifier, which receives a new characteristic value corresponding to the received state (e.g., an event received by the device, user activity, and environmental context of the user).

Referring to FIG. 6 , the pre-trained universal method includes a labelled dataset and policy of the reinforcement learning module. The labelled dataset comprises an on-boarding dataset which holds a dataset of “state-value” pair, which is generated from the crowdsourcing. The generated dataset is based on user persona which includes age, gender, country and the like. The policy of the reinforcement learning module defines the way of behaving at a given state. The way of behaving relates to generating a new characteristic value for the electronic device 102 at the given state (event received by the device, user activity and environmental context of the user).

Therefore, as depicted in FIG. 6 , if the change in the health parameter of the user exceeds the threshold value generated from the crowdsource based on the user persona (user personal details), the reinforcement learning module re-calibrates the characteristic value of the electronic device.

Initially, the onboarding dataset of the pre-trained universal learning module is empty. The learning module on-boards the initial dataset by passing the user persona value. For example, the contexts based characteristic model passes the details of the user persona to the labelled dataset of the pre-trained universal model, further the labelled state-value pair dataset is sent to the characteristic modifier to set the state-value dataset of the learning module, finally the contexts based characteristic model receives the initial dataset based on user persona. Therefore, on-boarding data set is used only when the learning module is empty for on-boarding initial data sets, based on user persona for initializing the electronic device 102 with the characteristic value. As depicted in FIG. 6 , the interaction between the reinforcement learning module and the pre-trained universal method is performed by sending the user persona details.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are example diagrams depicting a pre-trained universal method comprising labelled dataset and the policy of the learning module receiving crowdsourced data based on identified pattern change in the physiological state of the user based on characteristic change of an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, pre-trained universal method is a learning module, which learns from a change in physiological state of a user based on received characteristic value of the user. The physiological change in the user is based on the state (e.g., comprising event, user activity, and/or environment).

FIGS. 7A and 7B depict a tabular column indicating the change in the physiological state, user persona, state and the characteristic value of the received notification. In an embodiment, the state of the user may be [Event={“SNS Notification”}, User Activity={“Sleeping”}, Environment={“11 PM”, “Home”, “Silent”, “Dark”}] for which the characteristic value of the user may be [Vibration=“50”, Display=“Grey Scaling”, Sound=“0”], User Persona may be [Age=“15”, Gender=“M”, Region=“US”, Profession=“IT”] for which the physiological change may be [Heart Rate=“20”, Stress=“20”], which indicates that the change in the physiological state of the user is unpleasant due to an increase in the physiological state of the user greater than the threshold value. The pre-trained universal method keeps track of all the change in the physiological state of the user in a similar manner, on receiving the events on the electronic device. The pre-trained universal method keeps track of changes in the physiological state and considers that the user is having a pleasant experience when the physiological state less than the threshold value.

The pre-trained universal method analyzes diverse data and identifies any pattern change(s) in the physiological state, based on the characteristic value. Therefore, the learning module 212 constructs a policy function (π) to adjust each characteristic parameter for the state based on physiological change and user persona, which is defined as user persona-based policies. The policy function (π) generates the new characteristic value to be adjusted on the electronic device on receiving the notification. The policy function (π) is constructed by mapping the occurred event, current user activity and the environmental context of the user with the generated new characteristic value of the electronic device 102. The user personal based details are sent to the reinforcement learning module. Based on the change in the physiological state and the user personal details the pre-trained universal method constructs a list of occurred events, current user activity and the environmental context to the characteristic value of the electronic device. Therefore, the pre-trained universal method constructs a permutated state-value pairs. The state-value pairs comprise the occurred event, current user activity and the environmental context of the user. The state-value pair can be obtained by analyzing the range of data containing only pleasant user's physiological change, which is defined as user persona-based datasets. The constructed state-value pairs are sent to the labelled dataset of the universal learning module which is termed as labelled dataset.

The user persona-based datasets and user persona-based policies are sent to a crowd sourcing data platform through a crowd sourcing data analyzer. If the considerable physiological change is greater than threshold value, then it can be considered as an unpleasant experience. If the physiological change is less than or equal to the threshold value, then it can be considered as a pleasant experience. The crowd sourcing data platform may be a platform in which an authenticated user may obtain the information about a large group of people related to business, personal information, and the like, to receive knowledge. The crowd sourcing data platform allows the user to receive knowledge regarding the individuals details in the group or the organization. For example, the pre-trained universal learning module may fetch the data from the crowd sourcing database based on the user persona details.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are example diagrams depicting a calculation of a threshold value to adjust a characteristic of an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, physiological change of a user is assumed as “C” for a particular state “S” and a characteristic value “V” for user persona “P”. In an embodiment herein, the health change feedback identifies that the physiological state “C” exceeds the threshold value, health change feedback sends state, characteristic value and the user persona (S, V, C) to the physiological reactor. The physiological reactor fetches user persona (P) and send (S, V, C, P) to the policy of the reinforcement model. For example state (S)=Event={“SNS Notification”}, User Activity={“Sleeping”}, Environment={“11 PM”, “Home”, “Silent”, “Dark” }], Value (V)=[Vibration=“50”, Display=“Grey Scaling”, Sound=“0”], Physiological change (C)=[Heart Rate=“20”, Stress=“20”] and User Persona (P)=[Age=“15”, Gender=“M”, Region=“US”, Prof=“IT”]. Therefore, the policy of the reinforcement model identifies an indicative new characteristic value (Vnew) based on S, V, P, and magnitude of C. Hence, t(S, V, P, C)=Vnew where π is policy function inside the policy model. As depicted in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the characteristic value of the device is modified (Vnew) with respect to the state (S). State (S)=[Event={“SNS Notification”}, User Activity={“Sleeping”}, Environment={“11 PM”,“Home”,“Silent”,“Dark”}] and Modified Value (Vnew)=[Vibration=“40”,Display=“Grey Scaling”,Sound=“0”]

Therefore, (S, Vnew) pair=“characteristic modifier”=Apply to learning module dataset.

In an embodiment herein, the learning module 212 generates a unique dataset for each unique user. For example, if the electronic device is shared/worn by three family members (father, mother and son), three learning datasets are generated. The current active dataset will depend on the user who is currently using the electronic device 102. It can be identified either through the User Account currently being used on the electronic device 102 or a user identification (which can be a biometric identification, etc.).

In an embodiment herein, the electronic device performs transfer learning in which the learned dataset can be used on different electronic devices. For example, if the user has purchased a new smart watch, the learned dataset from the user's previous smart watch can be used to on-board the learning dataset on the new watch. In this way, the dataset on the new watch does not need to be retrained. The user can save the learned dataset from the cloud or locally and port/re-used it later anytime to same or different devices (through Backup and Restore). For example, when the user resets the watch, it erases all user data; before erasing, the user can do backup and after erasing, restore the user data.

FIGS. 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B are example diagrams depicting various events occurring on an electronic device when a user performs various activities and the corresponding change performed to the characteristic of the electronic device, according to various embodiments of the disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, an example shows a notification received by a user, while sleeping and tracking of a change in a physiological state of the user, on receiving the event.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, the received SNS notification is being monitored by the event detector and the context analyzer analyzes the current user activity and the environmental context. The current user activity may be sleeping and the environment context comprising time at 11 PM, place at home and ambient is silent and dark. Further the characteristic determination module may determine the characteristic value of the electronic device based on received context. For instance, the characteristic value may include the vibration=“50”, Display=“Grey Scaling”, Sound=“0” for the received [Event={“SNS Notification”, User Activity={“Sleeping”}, Environment={“11 PM” “Home”, “Silent”, “Dark”}]. As depicted in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the change in the physiological state [Heart Rate=60→80=“20”, Blood Pressure=120/80→140/90=“20” and Stress=30→50=“20”]. The threshold value=5. From the example, the increase in the physiological change is 20, therefore the increase in the physiological state may cause an unpleasant experience to the user. Then, the dynamic characteristic model is invoked with the received user activity, environment context, the characteristic value of the device and the change in the physiological state of the user is identified by the dynamic characteristic model. The dynamic characteristic model indicates that the change causes unpleasant experience to the user can be due to an increase in the physiological state of the user which is greater than the threshold value.

Also, the pre-trained universal method can track the change in the physiological state of the user on receiving the events on the electronic device.

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, the reinforcement learning module includes user persona which holds personal information of the user including age, gender, region, profession of the user and the like. The reinforcement learning module receives a new characteristic value corresponding to the received state (event received by the device, user activity and environmental context of the user). The reinforcement learning module sends the new characteristic value or the re-calibrated characteristic value to the characteristic determination module to be adjusted by the electronic device 102.
